Exact same thing at the public range I go to.

News to me. Oh, you mean they are prohibited at ranges that are certified by the Mass. State Police? Well, last I knew, there are no state-certified ranges. Who needs more govt. regulation, so nobody has applied for certification. At the ranges I shoot at, there are quite a few silhouette targets, as well as hostage pics, bin-Laden pix, etc.

Yes, I have heard grumblings from the old geezer hunters at one club about the targets but my response is, "Well, call the state yourself, and inform on another gun owner, Herr Goebbels." That usually shuts them up.



Again, only applies to the theoretical state-certified ranges. Some others might be afraid of bad PR, but I think that's changing after Sept. 11. People have more important things to worry about now.

Of course, the BBC interview with the spokesman from the Gun Owners' Action League during the suit was classic. Even the BBC interviewer said, "Well, who WOULDN'T want to shoot at a picture of Adolf Hitler?"

Heh,

I took my mother out (she wanted to shoot a pistol, used to shoot a 30-06 when she was young), and got a couple of silouette targets.  Put one out at 7 meters, and watched her shoot.

Now, my mother is a nurse of over 30 years, and exclaimed after her first shot that she had gotten the aorta.  Then (in her own words), she went and removed the 'gentleman's' gallbladder, left and right kidneys, and finally resected his bowels.  Kind of a funny commentary that had a couple of the shooters right next to us cracking up.

crookshanks, a left handed FAL would be awesome, as well as a belt fed model as well. I doubt right handed people really understand how much of the world has been tailored towards them.
